A post from last year from CYMRO ....warned about that P O S compressor that comes with the car to reinflate a tyre .
Of course I read , remembered and did nothing about. A few days ago and a few weeks from the cars 1st birthday I had occasion thanks to a screw nail right in the middle of tyre ( rear of course ! ) to put the compressor to the test .
YEP ..same ...blew the fuse on the aux outlet . Tested on a spare battery and it will run, but cannot under any load and just stalls and if attempted to run on ANY pressure load wants to draw MANY many amperes. Another low tech , poor quality fail from Porsche in a 112K car
Now apart from having to source a replacement tyre and fit from my local Kwik-Fit ( my calendar expires before Porsche could fit this in for me ) now have to add replacement of that, the fuse, the one year later undone service recalls , deal with the niggling rattles a squeaks, intermittent dashboard control indication lights ( they don't exactly fall over themselves following up once the car is paid for ) . Of course this covid 19 must be to blame for all this right ?
Booking the exact same tyre ( to be proven when I get there on Thursday) price point and time slot booked thus far surprisingly pain free with KwikFit via their online site . I'll drop a foot note about how this goes with the much maligned service company.
They win so far, as they do seem to want to provide service and strangely not "prioritising key workers" who it seems to transpire must be largely driving Porsche cars judging by their policy right now.
